I think around 5 months for LO!

We probably switched a little late. We were so wrapped up in trying to bottle feed her in a way that helped her breast feed (paced feeding technique, low flow nipple etc) that when it became harder and harder to bottle feed her, it didn't occur to us to switch the nipple flow. Whoops!

Once we did at 5 months, stopped doing the paced thing and started warming the bottles (she didn't used to care about temp), bottle feeding got way easier. Now she eats like a champ, no more crying.

She still won't nurse but I'm now over it. (kind of)

Around 5 months

I never did. I feel like all that flow stuff was just a gimmick to sell more supplies!

My daughter is still using premie nipples at 13 months!

I've been wondering about this too... DD is 3 months, but I still don't feel like she's ready. We don't really BF anymore (just for comfort), but she can still choke on her bottle every once in awhile.

I think that's her problem though... she likes to let the milk sit in her mouth before taking a big swallow, then she chokes and coughs. Silly baby...

@Mrs. Jacks: That's how I feel now, but I already have all the nipples from shower gifts (unwrapped and washed them even, so can't take them back), so I feel like I should use them... haha

Never. P is 12 months & she just recently stayed the weekend with grandma using her slow flow nipples!

We never have, and probably won't at this point.

We never have, and won't at this point, we're just about to start bottle weaning. It takes him a while to finish a bottle, but he never complained and I didn't want it to interfere with breastfeeding.

never switched... if you think about it, womens nipples never change, from slow flow to medium or fast flow.

We tried to switch at about 11 months because it seemed like LO wanted more faster! But it was too much for LO because the milk came out too fast so we are back to the orginal ones. ^_^ He's 13 months now and still drinking the "slow" nipples.
